Marvin Mims WR | DEN
Broncos' Marvin Mims: Scores from 93 yards out
Mims had three catches (on four targets) for 105 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns.
Mims was the leading receiver for Denver after breaking off a 93-yard touchdown reception in an exciting win on Monday Night Football. The 22-year-old gained only 12 yards on his remaining two receptions, reminding fantasy managers how little the wideout can be involved in this offense. Mims has been a reserve for Denver in his sophomore season, resulting in a previous game high of 49 yards in 12 games prior to Monday's output. With a bye week on tap, Mims shouldn't be a top waiver add Week 14.

Courtland Sutton WR | DEN
Broncos' Courtland Sutton: Cracks century mark in win
Sutton brought in six of nine targets for 102 yards in Monday's 41-32 win over the Browns.
Sutton led the Broncos in both targets and receptions Monday, but he was second to Marvin Mims after the latter broke off a 93-yard touchdown in the high-scoring affair. The 29-year-old Sutton has posted three 100-plus-yard performances over the last six weeks, chipping in three touchdowns over that span as well. With Denver entering a bye week, Sutton will have to wait until Sunday, Dec. 15 against Indianapolis in order to continue his current tear.

Elijah Moore WR | PHI
Browns' Elijah Moore: Second 100-yard game of career
Moore brought in eight of 14 targets for 111 yards in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night. He also rushed once for one yard.
With Cedric Tillman (concussion) unavailable, Moore stepped up to produce his first 100-yard effort since Week 11 of his 2021 rookie season with the Jets. The veteran wideout has posted his three best receiving yardage totals of the season with Jameis Winston as his quarterback, as Monday night's effort was preceded by 85- and 66-yard tallies in Weeks 8 and 11, respectively. If Tillman remains sidelined for Sunday's Week 14 road rematch with the Steelers, Moore could play another significant role in that divisional clash.

Jerry Jeudy WR | CLE
Browns' Jerry Jeudy: Career-best performance in loss
Jeudy secured nine of 13 targets for 235 yards and a touchdown while adding a two-point conversion catch in the Browns' 41-32 loss to the Broncos on Monday night.
Facing the team that invested the 15th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft in him, Jeudy ensured his return to Denver was a memorable one by recording career highs in receptions and receiving yards. Jeudy got to the latter total with a significant assist from a 70-yard touchdown reception early in the third quarter, as well as a 35-yard grab to open a possession early in the fourth quarter. The veteran wideout has displayed excellent chemistry with Jameis Winston since the latter took over the starting job, generating a 33-614-2 line on 49 targets over that five-game span. Jeudy will next take aim at a Steelers defense he posted six receptions for 85 yards against back in Week 12, as Cleveland travels to Pittsburgh for an AFC North clash on Sunday.

Jamari Thrash WR | CLE
Browns' Jamari Thrash: Questionable to return Monday
Thrash (shoulder) is questionable to return to Monday's contest against the Broncos.
Thrash caught two passes for 11 yards before exiting the contest. In his absence, Jaelon Darden and Kadarius Toney stand to see an increase in workload at wide receiver versus Denver.

Jahan Dotson WR | ATL
Eagles' Jahan Dotson: Fifth straight one-catch game
Dotson caught one pass for seven yards in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens.
Even with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) out of action, Dotson failed to make much of an impact, finishing with precisely one catch for the fifth straight game. The Eagles found more success on the ground than through the air, completing just 11 passes on the day.

Trey Palmer WR | NO
Buccaneers' Trey Palmer: Fails to bring in only target
Palmer failed to bring in his only target during the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Palmer played 15 snaps on offense, his third straight game logging under 20 plays from scrimmage. He failed to record a catch for the second time in that span while drawing just a sole target for the third consecutive contest. With the quartet of Mike Evans, Jalen McMillan, Sterling Shepard and Cade Otton -- along with running backs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White -- commanding the overwhelming amount of Baker Mayfield's attention, Palmer heads into a Week 14 home matchup against the Raiders with dim fantasy prospects.

Rakim Jarrett WR | PIT
Buccaneers' Rakim Jarrett: Limited to kick returns Sunday
Jarrett did not draw a target but returned two kickoffs for 34 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Jarrett did log 11 snaps on offense, but he saw his four-game streak of at least one catch snapped. The speedy second-year wideout saw his first touches on special teams this season, however, which could portend a new role for Jarrett as a means of getting the ball in his hands.
-
Sterling Shepard WR | TB
Buccaneers' Sterling Shepard: Solid showing in OT win
Shepard brought in four of seven targets for 42 yards in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.
The veteran wideout tied Cade Otton for the second-most targets on the Bucs while also checking in as the runner-up to Mike Evans in receiving yards. Shepard has carved out a decent complementary niche in the Buccaneers' air attack, recording at least three catches and five targets in four of the last five games while eclipsing 40 receiving yards twice in that span. Shepard should continue drawing his fair share of one-time college teammate Baker Mayfield's attention in a Week 14 home matchup against the Raiders.

Laquon Treadwell WR | IND
Laquon Treadwell: Placed back on practice squad
Treadwell reverted to Indianapolis' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Treadwell received his second elevation of the campaign for Sunday's matchup versus New England and tallied seven offensive snaps along with 12 special-teams snaps without recording any other stats. The veteran's opportunity was a result of Josh Downs sitting out due to a shoulder injury and Ashton Dulin missing the game due to an ankle issue. The Colts are on bye Week 14, which could give Downs and Dulin time to recover, in turn potentially lowering Treadwell's chance of receiving another elevation.
